You forget that we did give up after the Chelsea draw.In 2016 we finished third, 11 points off the top, and closer on points to Liverpool in 8th than to Leicester in 1st. We won 4 fewer games than the champions, and lost double the number of games they did.
If you're seriously calling that a title challenge then I can't help you.

We were close to them until we drew against Chelsea. After that the players just gave up, which is why we got hammered by Newcastle on the last game of the season.And therefore I don't think we can seriously be considered as concurrent title challengers.

We challenged for the title in both seasons regardless... But you carry on being negative.And therefore I don't think we can seriously be considered as concurrent title challengers.

And who are you going to replace him with?
No, we really really didn't. We finished miles off the pace. By that logic you could say Swansea challenged for the title because they were in the top 3 after 3 weeks that time. It means nothing if you're not within touching distance when the season ends.
But you carry on deluding yourself with overhyped mediocrity.
Being close at one stage or another doesn't make us contenders IMO, unless that point is the final day of the season.
So any season where the title winners finish more than 3 points clear, there was no title race?
3rd place is mediocrity? Ok, I'll just pretend the 90s never happened then...No, we really really didn't. We finished miles off the pace.
